we'll see. The knock is he is too small to play center, too slow to play PF. and his defense is pretty bad.

That’s not what I saw with Vagner. He’s actually Vucevic that is not afraid of contact and actually playing defense. He handles the ball like a SF and block shot like crazy. Maybe because he’s still young and no lingering pain yet or just want to impress the coaches to give him PT when the season starts. He’s like young Matt Harpring with shooting.

People should temper down conclusions that they draw from SL games, competition is simply bad.
Zizic from Cavs couldn't crack into their rotation all year long and his competition were TT and Love at C ( nothing against Love but guy ain't C ) , in 2 games of SL he posted : 16 p, 14 r- 5 a game and 25p -10 r game shooting like 70%

That's a guy I haven't thought of in a while. Matt Harpring was a good player who used to really harass his opponents defensively. I remember back in the day he harassed Joe Dumars so much he complained to the officials.

I feel like WCJ has the potential to be the best big in this draft

Carter was my favourite prospect outside Doncic, he is doing damn well. Bamba has a lot work to do, still i like our choice Bamba has star mentality.

Just saw more of his SL highlights. Man, he looks good! Is he a PF in the NBA though? Looks kind of small for C.

How does Vegas summer league work? As far as the semi-finals and finals.

After tonight the teams will be seeded for a playoff. Every team is guaranteed 5 games so there must be a loser's bracket.

I wouldn't be surprised if Holiday ends up having a better career than both Sexton and Young. He looks good already, he's got a tight handle and smooth jumper. He plays with good pace as well, where as a lot of guards in SL tend to be a little bit out of control. He looks like he could be a starting caliber point at the next level.

Admittedly, I'm not very high on Sexton and Young as prospects (at least relative to their draft positions), so take that for what it's worth.

I can’t make one right now but shouldn’t there be a game Thread?

Sick seeing other rookies have solid nights and here we are watching Frazier play like a bum.

De’Anthony Melton with 26 10 5 assists 2 steals a on a solid shooting night 9-16 + 5-10 from 3.

That was the guy I wanted too

I was shocked he was still on the board at #41 after we passed on him at #35.

But our FO must have liked Briscoe more, MagicJohny, said we were signing Briscoe before the draft even started.

He went #46, that type of deep second round picks you can buy for cash.

Melton was the most shocking faller, i was certain we gonna grab him. Briscoe is impressive though.
